My Typed Words

My Typed Words

 

Let my hand type words

which my tongue can’t speak

Give me words to say
that I may reach.

 

Make my heart soft
that I may hear from You.

Anoint me as Your vessel
though I don’t feel worthy to be used.

 

Even so, here I am,
knowing You can use even me.

Let my typed words spread
like a wildfire to all in need.

 

Praises to Your Name
is my love offering to You my King.

Let these words be lifted to You,
as a tune I cannot sing.

 

As I write this,
I bow my whole heart.

Your Spirit lives in me,
love You import.

 

You are worthy
to be glorified beyond my meager way.

Still, I long to use
my typed words to bring You praise.

This one captures so well, your key motivation for writing poetry here; that of your devotion to Christian faith. And, that you see yourself as a vessel; for sharing God's words. I wish you well.

[Chris Shaw]

Your strong faith shines through Melinda. May you always find the words to create beautiful poetry. Hope you are keeping well dear poet. 🌹

[Melinda McQueen]

Thank you for reading and for your kind words.

Am here again, forgive - I really should have visited before now. Have you been thinking of creating more poetry, has it become diffcult for you? You HAD some wonderful thoughts, ideas.

[Melinda McQueen]

What do you mean? are you talking about my not posting poems as frequently? I'm busy writing a book.

[emmajoygreen]

Forgive, I didn't know you were/are writing a book..

[apennylate]

Dang.
Not a huge fan of higher authority or deity, especially with how I was raised extremely religious.
But this is a powerful write, regardless of its intended direction, I forged my own understanding amid the crossed paths.
I am very glad you find comfort in poetry, it is the ultimate equalizer between old and poor.
Rap was first created by the impoverished, as you do not need anything to begin.
You just open your mouth (or pick up a pen/keyboard), and you are knee-deep in the craft.
Wonderful, and thanks for sharing

[Melinda McQueen]

Thanks. Yes, religion can be a bit much. Jesus doesn't like when people are too religious,

[emmajoygreen]

A beautiful and finely created poem that praises the creator of the All Around and its meaning. Thank you so much, Melinda, your words extend far more and wider than a screen, my friend.

' As I write this,
I bow my whole heart.

Your Spirit lives in me,
love You import.'

Thank you for your thoughtful review.

[Coyote Poetry]

Was my pleasure dear Melinda and you are welcome.

[John Sullivan]

Very interesting piece Melinda. I've been contemplating spirituality myself lately, it's the great mystery after all... may you find light and purpose and meaning.

[Melinda McQueen]

If you need someone to talk with, I'm here.

[Victor D. Lopez]

No words written in praise of God are meager and no vessel unworthy of His love when written or uttered with a pure heart. One word of true praise from an honest woman or man are worth more and far likelier to reach His ears than all the combined writings of the wisest dissemblers. Thank you for another effective spiritual write.

[Melinda McQueen]

Thank you for your touching review. I love that we can praise Him right where we are.

[Victor D. Lopez]

My pleasure.
